docs(hacktoberfest): expand contributor onboarding beyond label stub #249

Description

@ulises-jeremias

Context

docs/HACKTOBERFEST.md is only a short stub. New contributors need a clearer map of repos and labels.

Steps

  1. Expand docs/HACKTOBERFEST.md to list repos newcomers can touch (create-python-app, cpa-templates, website, taps).
  2. Explain good first issue, help wanted, and seasonal Hacktoberfest labeling.
  3. Link CONTRIBUTING files and Discord.
  4. Note that assigned epics (e.g. AI/ML catalog) should not be duplicated casually.

Acceptance criteria

  • Doc is roughly 40–80 lines with actionable links
  • Repo table or bullet list with example task types
  • Discord + CONTRIBUTING links present
  • Explicit guidance about assigned epics

Files

  • docs/HACKTOBERFEST.md
  • Optional cross-link from root README.md

How to verify

A newcomer can pick a repo and label to search after reading the doc alone.
